Sharing information and reporting on all that reeks in American education, especially corporate reform in K12 education, the agenda to privatize the right to a free public education for every child, and general corruption in K12-higher education. Calling out and exposing rather than cowering.

AND eager for your help. Have a story of power, manipulation, self-interest or injustice which needs attention? Let me know and we'll let the world discover "what's that smell."

Help Defeat HR 5, the "Student Success Act" Which Has Nothing to Do with Student Success and Everything to Do with Profits and Limiting States' Rights

Please write your representatives to let them know you oppose H.R. 5, the "Student Success Act," education reform's equivalent of the Clean Air Act. The Network For Public Education has made it easy to do so *here*.

This *article* from the "What Is Common Core" blog helps explicate some of the worrisome content of the bill, which is detrimental to private schools, home schools, and public schools. Yes, the bill is that terrible.

Frankly, I don't think I've seen a bill that sweeps away states' rights under the guise of benevolent government control as thoroughly as this one does. While I've avoided making negative ties to socialism and the Obama administration for as long as the man's been president, this bill forgoes that form of governance and reads like a Communist takeover. Read it and tell me I'm wrong.

Seriously. I want to be wrong.

    Has the world turned upside down? Republicans supporting the bill saying it does not increase government over-reach and the Obama administration threatening to veto a bill seemingly designed to increase its power, especially Arne Duncan's influence?:
